In our case, you can track school performance via state standardized test scores. Yea, they are somewhat flawed and biased, but can still give you a very good idea of how good of a job a public school is doing. In our case, our kids (now aged 15 and 12) were getting B’s and high C’a, but were both scoring single digits on standardized tests for math, English and science.

As it turns out our district overall state test were abysmally low.

The net result is general flight from the public system, either via home schooling, “Choice” programs that let you go to other districts if yours is inadequate, or private school. Graphing our school enrollment numbers has gone from about 970 students in district in 2017 to 670 in 2023.

Can you expound upon "scoring single digits on standards tests" a little more? I can't figure out how these are related as I have some context for where "B's and C's" fall on the grading scale, I don't have context for where "single digits on standardized tests" fall on a scale.
